The satisfactory distribution of fluid research funds depends upon the conscientious work of a small committee of discriminating,
courageous and tactful members of the local faculty.

The results we have seen have been good--without exception or abuse. Recipients have been encouraged and stimulated by the
confidence thus expressed by their peers. The duty of wise distribution has exercised critical faculties of the members of
the Fluid Research Fund Committee. The longer the period of availability the larger is the number of men who experience the
stimulus of feeling that research work is within their reach without having the job of "selling it to a foundation in
advance." Local administration and local onlookers provide an unostentatious but pretty thorough going type of guarantee
that the funds will be sensibly used. On the whole Fluid Research Funds free a scientist to follow his own bent and not shape
it to the supposed interest of outsiders.
